We absolutely loved every bit of it! The staff was so friendly and helpful. The first thing my son said when we got into the car for the ride home was “I am definitely coming back next year”.

My group of Junior Highers and I had a great time at Rock-N-Water this past summer! Our group leader Gwen was awesome and super great with our students. We had a fantastic time on the river and I highly recommend using Rock-N-Water for youth groups that want some adventure!

It was probably one of the best four days and experiences in my life! The team building, canyoneering, and especially rafting was so much fun!This camp definitely challenges you and might take you out of your comfort zone.

Experience was awesome. Kind of intense actually because two of my raft mates fell off during the rapids and had to be rescued. The only problem of my trip is my go pro slipping off the helmet and sinking to the bottom.

Wonderful.
Please change the packing list

Wonderful. Please change the packing list a bit: specify what kind of water shoes count as water shoes (for example crocs are not water shoes), and maybe say to pack more than one swimsuit because that’s what we mostly will wear. PLEASE GIVE BACON BACON BACON BACON And never take out that crunchy… Read more “Wonderful. Please change the packing list”

Great. First experience with Rock N Water and I’m grateful that a Christian outfitter exists. As a guide myself, I find myself pretty critical of decisions and some rules, but I think you did a great job. For instance, I would have like to wear my personal Type V rescue PFD (Astral Greenjacket) but because… Read more “Great. First experience with”

Statement of Belief

We believe we should, "Love the Lord (our) God with all (our) heart, and with all (our) soul, and with all (our) mind," and "The entire law is summed up in one command: Love your neighbor as yourself." Matthew 22:37, Galatians 5:14. We believe Jesus Christ is the eternal and only Son of God. That He died on the cross as the perfect sacrifice, paying the penalty for all our sins, and then rose from the grave. It is through faith alone in Jesus Christ that we have received the free gift of salvation and eternal life. We are saved by grace, not works, “that no one should boast”. We believe the Bible is accurate, reliable, and the Word of God. (Luke 5:20-24; John 1:1-18; John 3:15-21; John 14:1-15; Ephesians 2; 1 John)

Who we are

Rock-N-Water is a group of Christians who want to impact young people with the joy of God's Living Word, so they might come to know Jesus and pass on God's love with excitement. We focus our program on biblical principals, and we use the help of nature, friendship, and challenge to develop character.
